Exploration of the Vinyl-4-Reductase Effector Domain of the Methanogen Specific Transcription Regulator MsvR in Methanosarcina acetivorans
Mundy-Shelton, Kristen (2017-07-20)Global warming is one of the most pressing issues that this planet faces. Methane production by methanogenic archaea plays a crucial in not only climate change, but also in the global carbon cycle. Methanogenic archaea ... -
Heirloom Microbes: a survey of lactic acid bacteria in traditional Mongolian dairy
Fulton, Shannon (2020)Fermentation has sustained human communities for thousands of years. Through most of that time, humans unknowingly used microbes in food production, especially dairy. It wasn’t until the late nineteenth century that the ... -
Metabolite Profiling Of Experimental Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions Demonstrates Significant Perturbations In Tissue Glycerophosphocholines
Parab, Adwaita; Thomas, Diane; Lostracco-Johnson, Sharon; Lage de Siqueira-Neto, Jair; McKerrow, James; Dorrestein, Pieter; McCall, Laura-Isobel (2021-05-15)Each year 700,000 to 1.2 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are reported and yet CL remains one of thirteen diseases classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Leishmania major is one of several ... -
Phenotypic, Chemotaxonomic and Genomic Characterization of a Novel Anaerobic Acetogen, Clostridium muelleri sp. nov. P21T Isolated from Old Hay
Doyle, Dena (2020-05)Acetogens are a group of obligately anaerobic bacteria that use the Wood-Ljungdahl (acetyl-CoA) pathway for the production of acetyl-CoA from 2 moles of CO2. Acetyl-CoA is then converted to various acids and alcohols such ... -
Substitutional Analysis of Cysteine Residues and Preliminary Regulon Analysis of the Redox-Sensing Transcription Regulator MsvR in Methanosarcina acetivorans
Gilcrest, Kylie (2016-12)Methane produced from methanogenesis in archaea may be a promising source of renewable energy as methanogens are the primary producers of biogenic methane. However, methanogens are anaerobic and experience transient oxygen ...
